Babolat AIR VERTUO 2.6

Model: Air Vertuo 2.6.

Advanced Technologies and Materials of the Babolat Air Vertuo 2.6 Racket.

The Vibrabsorb System (Powered by Smac) is the technology in the Babolat Air Vertuo 2.6 responsible for eliminating residual vibrations that can affect precision and comfort during impact. Unlike Vibrabsorb System², it does not use elastomers integrated into the carbon fibres and handle, but instead incorporates elastomer into the graphite in the heart of the racket, providing greater comfort on every shot and reducing the risk of injury.

The Holes Pattern System of the Babolat Air Vertuo 2.6 consists of optimising the distribution and size of the holes according to the shape of the racket. This feature is especially valuable as it increases power transfer and precision when returning shots.

For those moments in a match when it is necessary to generate power efficiently, this technology is essential, allowing powerful shots to be executed without the need to apply excessive force.

3D Spin System: Better Ball Grip for More Spin. In the Babolat Air Vertuo 2.6 we also find the 3D Spin system, a relief pattern on the racket surface designed to increase ball grip and maximise spin on every shot more easily, such as slices or topspin shots.

This technology has not only been designed for players who use spin, but also provides greater control over the ball and a superior tactical advantage over your opponent.

At the core of the Air Vertuo 2.6 we find Black EVA rubber. It is a more elastic core designed to provide more power and greater comfort to the player when striking the ball. In addition, this rubber works together with the Vibrabsorb system for improved vibration absorption on impact thanks to its lower density.

The Soft Fiber surface combines soft and flexible fibres that provide effortless power with maximum comfort and tolerance. Ideal for getting extra power more easily.

The combination of these materials represents the great manoeuvrability that characterises the Air range from Babolat, allowing the racket to adapt to different playing styles, always maintaining a professional feel that optimises performance during long playing sessions.

The hybrid shape of the Babolat Air Vertuo 2.6 provides the optimal design for the versatility needed on court. This format creates the perfect balance between power and control, ideal for players who want to master both styles of play without giving up the control of round rackets or the power of diamond-shaped rackets. The medium balance concentrates the weight in the centre of the racket and allows quick movements, ideal for changes of pace during matches.

This combination of hybrid shape and medium balance together with its Soft Fiber faces and Black EVA core is perfect for players looking for an optimal balance between power and manoeuvrability, allowing precise and controlled shots in defence as well as powerful attacks when the match demands it.

Finally, one of the best systems included in this Babolat racket is the Smart Buttcap. It consists of a system integrated into the racket’s safety strap that allows the cord to be removed more easily.

This not only offers the advantage that you can customise it to your liking or match it to the outfit you wear on court, but it also helps maintain the hygiene of the strap. As it can be removed easily, you can take it off to wash it after several matches or intense training sessions or simply replace it with a new one.
